We need a new party

[ck4829]

Honestly, Reid's "We need to unite (and serve Bush)" is the last straw.

I love the Democratic Party, but it's negligence when it comes to the corruption and evil that comes from the other Party is JUST TOO MUCH.

I know that there are sane Conservatives, actual Conservatives, who are upset with the government today too.

I want to extend my hand to welcome them and invite them as our partners to create a new movement.

Who's with me?

1. When did Reid say that? After Katrina?

:mad:

2. Watch C-Span, my friend, and see the subservience for yourself.

3. There definitely needs to be a new party. If we could throw out half of

the current Dem officeholders or more, in the next election cycle, there might be a prayer for the party. I'm not seeing it from this bunch of sycophants though.

4. I'm not with you.

And neither are the mods! :hi:

7. Sorry, temporarily upset.

Maybe Reid will wake up. I hope so.

[SteppingRazor]

5. We don't need a new party...

We need a new constitution.

11. Something needs to change

I apologize if people think I'm a disruptor with my original post.

If something does not change, this country WILL collapse.

6. Count me in

If the Dems don't call for bu$h's impeachment after the horrible way he has handled this disaster, there is no hope for our country.

8. that's the correct attitude

imo.

[walldude]

9. Fuck, we need a whole new country... n/t

10. There's already The Green Party

Look how many presidential elections they've come close to winning....it's not in the cards I'd sooner rely on the far chance that the GP will ever win an election before an even newer party becomes formed and attempted to be positioned to take control of America.

12. I wouldn't support a 3rd party unless the U.S. adopted Instant Runoff

Voting. Otherwise, we'd just be conceding everything to the Republicans (who tend to be more "on theme")

[GoBlue]

13. I whole heartedly agree ...

both branches of the corporate party suck. IMHO they're toast.

[sub.theory]

14. Bootlickers

The Democratic Party as the national level is completely overrun by sniveling bootlickers. They are a major part of the problem in America.

[Selatius]

15. FUCK political parties

I want people to be thinking independents. None of this bullshit of conformity and being "united" for the good of the damn party. Me and others on the left in this country have always been told to give up our positions to appease those who don't want to fucking move ahead or to appear more "electable."

That's total crap, and I'm not buying anymore. Better yet, instead of electing more incompetent, corrupt leaders who give two shits about Joe America working man, perhaps we can choose not to elect more stupid leaders and do it ourselves like people did 200 years ago with citizen councils and townhall meetings.

16. Abolish Parties?

That could also be an idea.

Our people in government must be loyal to us, not a Party.

17. Progressive Democrats of America
